Eric Miller, LTI President, Unveils New Laser Products</div>
</div>
<p>
Day two of the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference has already begun in Chicago, IL where Laser Technology, Inc. (LTI) has
released some very exciting new products. Eric Miller, LTI's President, hosted a press conference at LTI's booth #4039 on Sunday at 11 AM (CT), the first
day of the conference to reveal these new, much anticipated products. In attendance were many professionals from top-industry publications including Kelly
Bisco and Jonathan Kozlowski from Law Enforcement Media, Dave Quimby from American Police Beat, Pam Hinz from PoliceOne.com, Melanie Basich from Police
Magazine and Al Menear from Police and Security News. </p>
<p>
At the press conference, they were able to get a first look of each new product LTI has released. Eric Miller spoke about how LTI got started with releasing
the very first commercial laser speed enforcement device to the police market and how these new products are reaching to other departments such as SWAT
and Crime Scene Investigation.</p>
<p>
Here is a sneak peak of what LTI covered at the press conference.</p>
<h2>

<p><strong>New TruPulse Tactical LRF for SWAT</strong><br />
Another innovation we are excited to announce at the LTI booth this year is a hand-held laser rangefinder for SWAT and law enforcement sharpshooters. Judging accurate distance to an intended target is critical to mission success and safety. The <a href="http://www.lasertech.com/TruPulse-Tactical-Laser-Rangefinder.aspx" target="_blank">TruPulse Tactical LRF</a> replaces up to 4 devices to provide a quick and accurate ballistic solution. Edit, store and access up to 5 weapon and cartridge combinations saved in the laser's on-board firmware. Combine that with the measured environmental barometric pressure, temperature, range and tilt data from the laser to get a calculated ballistic holdover (BDC, MOA, MIL, IN) result right in the scope. Add your estimated wind speed in the rangefinder to display the correction for 5 to 50 miles per hour. The Tactical is one more technological break-through from LTI and will be on display at IACP booth #4039.

Five dual traffic laser systems are mounted onto a gantry and looking straight down to cover the traffic flow for each lane. The non-intrusive TruSense T-series are scanning vehicles 24 hours a day and calculating precise vehicle speed, height, length, headway and occupancy data in real-time. The raw measurement values can also be used to report profile data for vehicle classification. </p>
<p>The TruSense T-series have the ability to consistently produce extremely rapid pulse rates and highly accurate measurements that generate vehicle lengths within centimeters and speeds within one decimal place, which are critical for VicRoads' occupancy calculations. The test site will remain operational for a number of years and will allow VicRoads to trial other traffic sensors and benchmark their performance against the TruSense T-series.</p>
<p> There are plans to have the sensors data output to be configured to feed directly into the VicRoads Traffic Management system. A live video feed with all the traffic data being collected was broadcasted live in LTI's stand at Intertraffic 2014 - watch a video clip taken from the live feed below.</p>

<p>Phil Lack, CEO of Laser Technology Australia, spearheaded a traffic management project working closely with VicRoads from Melbourne, Australia. Five dual traffic laser systems are mounted onto a gantry and looking straight down to cover the traffic flow for each lane. The TruSense T-series are scanning vehicles 24 hours a day and calculating precise vehicle speed, height, length, headway and occupancy data in real-time. Both Phil and a representative from VicRoads co-presented their project at LTI's dealer meeting with a live video feed of all the traffic data being collected. This same video feed was broadcasted live in LTI's Intertraffic stand, which ended up being the main attraction.</p>

<p>LTI hosted a full day dealer meeting on Monday, 24 but the momentum in dealer engagement certainly did not stop there. On both Tuesday and Wednesday of that week, Mike Rieger, Laser Technology's Director of Technical Support hosted product service training on LTI's TruCAM®, the PicoDigiCAM® and TruFlash® as well as the TruSpeed® S series. Ricky D'Souza, Laser Technology's South and Central Asia Sales Manager, and Franck Margerin, Laser Technology's Europe and Africa Sales Manager, conducted two days' worth of product operation training. These types of trainings are pivotal to the success of LTI's distribution channels and are what starts to develop their expertise with LTI's traffic enforcement equipment. </p>

<h2>2014 Intertraffic Conference </h2>
<p>This year the conference hosted 800 exhibitors from over 40 countries worldwide that show cased their latest products for the intelligent traffic management market. Show organizers estimated that over 27,000 people were in attendance and almost everyone there was a decision maker.</p>
<p>LTI brought a few new product offerings that spoke loudly to this particular target market. The <a href="http://www.lasertech.com/PicoDigiCam.aspx" target="_blank">PicoDigiCam®</a> product and the <a href="http://www.lasertech.com/TruSense-T-Series-Traffic-Sensor.aspx" target="_blank">TruSense® T-Series T100/T200 traffic sensors</a>, were on display in LTI's stand at the exhibition.</p>

<p>The T100/T200 were promoted with classification and speed monitoring software, allowing the traffic engineers in attendance to see the non-intrusive alternative for traffic sensors. This set-up garnered a lot of ‘buzz’ at the show and even made its way into the InterTraffic 2014 daily news, which was part of this year's convention.</p>
<p>Everyone at LTI is looking forward to the next Dealer meeting at their headquarters in Denver, Colorado, USA, in 2015 and then again, at the 2016 InterTraffic conference in Amsterdam, which has always proven to be a great opportunity to showcase new technology, share ideas, and connect with traffic management business professionals.</p>

Last year the city introduced a system called ShotSpotter which sends the gunfire location directly to officers in the field the moment a gun goes bang. &nbsp; Wilmington police follow a model called "D-DACTS" also known as Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety.&nbsp; This model explains that crimes such as burglary and robbery are committed using a vehicle to commit the crime and then flee, so the chances of intercepting a vehicle that is enroute to a crime or leaving one is greater when police stop more cars. This model is also built on documented statistics between the relationship of crime and crashes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"If you got a fish-finder and it says all the fish are here, that's where you're going to go fishing," said Captain Jim Varrone, commander of police department's northwest patrol division. Every couple of weeks, Barry Coburn, the Wilmington Police Department's analyst, will draw up a new map that defines areas of the city that are most affected by crimes and wrecks.&nbsp; Where these two hot-spots overlap, officer's then target their enforcement efforts in these areas concentrating on the time of day when both occur most often.</p>
<p>Law enforcement agencies around the US have duplicated these methods in their communities, in fact in Baltimore, MD after a 10 month period of using this method to fight crime and traffic violations, police actually saw an improvement in traffic - with 373 fewer crashes than the same period a year prior.</p>

Construction zones are becoming increasingly dangerous for the workers and according to WISN Channel 2 News, &ldquo;Nationwide, some 900 road construction workers get killed in traffic accidents just last year. That is more fatalities than law enforcement officers.&rdquo; This news coverage is to gain more public awareness in hopes to deter speeding in these dangerous areas. LTI&rsquo;s laser speed device is ideal for this stretch of highway because the laser beam width is narrow enough to pinpoint a specific vehicle within multilane traffic. It is also important to have the speed data stand up in court, which is why LTI has gone to great lengths to ensure every speed-reading is true and accurate. Only LTI laser speed guns have exclusive Accuracy Validation firmware, which ensures the accuracy of every speed measurement before it even displays a reading.</p>

<p>Officer Robert Barrett of the Columbus, Ohio, Division of Police decided to test a new speed enforcement LIDAR, called TruCAM, which captures speeders on digital video. Officer Barrett was convinced that the device was a surefire way to bring speeding cases to court and make them stick. Armed with his own testing and evaluation, with the assistance of the Columbus, Ohio, City Attorney&rsquo;s office, and a local expert witness, Officer Barrett supplied a case to the court system in his jurisdiction to get the court's approval of the device for use by officers within the county.&nbsp; After hearing and viewing the evidence provided by LTI's 20-20 TruCAM, Judge Anne Taylor of the Franklin County, Ohio, Municipal Court ruled this new speed enforcement tool is scientifically reliable and accurate, and that the TruCAM can be used by law enforcement officers to measure vehicle speed within Franklin County. The judge's ruling is the first of its kind in the USA for the TruCAM. "The video from the TruCAM gives you one more piece of evidence that (as a traffic enforcement officer) you clocked the right car for speeding,&rdquo; Officer Barrett said. "There's really no defense to it."</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Laser Technology LTI 20-20 TruCAM significantly takes speed enforcement technology to a higher level with a built-in and integrated video camera. Therefore, not only is excessive speed clocked and stamped by TruCAM, but it can record a complete chain of video evidence, creating a high resolution image that identifies vehicle make and model, license plate number and even some facial characteristics of the driver.&nbsp; Now the TruCAM&rsquo;s results (digital video evidence of a targeted driver caught speeding) potentially could be admissible in any court within Ohio's 88 counties, and nationwide, if judges rule favorably. If this occurs, evidence produced by TruCAM is anticipated to be undeniable by defendants.&nbsp; In one instance, he recalls writing a speeding ticket for a man riding a motorcycle in heavy traffic in downtown Columbus, Ohio. In this area, two major freeways join together, so there is a constant bottleneck causing traffic snarls. Since motorcycles can accelerate much faster than cars, you might think difficult or impossible to clock a speeding motorcyclist, but not with the TruCAM. Officer Barrett easily caught the speeder on video thanks to TruCAM. "If you look at the video you wouldn't know there's a motorcycle there until you slow down the video," he said. "The cyclist was going 15 miles over the speed limit in rush hour traffic." Case closed. It is important to remember that the TruCAM is a tool to aid an experienced traffic officer in enforcing speed limits. "Officers still have to do a visual estimation before doing a speed clock (with TruCAM)," said Officer Barrett. "Which means you have to look at the traffic and everything around it, and based upon your training and experience, estimate how many miles over the speed limit someone is going." <br /><br />What makes the TruCAM such a valuable tool is that not only does the user get a video recording of the area in which a vehicle is speeding, as well as traffic and overall conditions, but it pinpoints the time on the video where the clock (of speeding) actually occurred. Officer Barrett is well aware that speeding tickets can have a huge impact on offenders. After all, tickets can trigger increased insurance premiums, affecting their driver's record, and put a major dent in the offender's finances. Nevertheless, he argues that he and other officers conduct unbiased traffic enforcement and their main goal is to keep the highways safe. "Most traffic crashes are caused by individuals driving at excessive speeds, causing thousands of deaths and costing billions of dollars each year," Officer Barrett noted.
